Cherry-Pistachio Quinoa

Serves 4

2 tsp, plus 2 tbsp olive oil

1½ tbsp finely chopped shallots

1¾ cups raw quinoa, rinsed

½ cup dried tart bing cherries, chopped

⅓ cup dry white wine

2–3 tbsp lemon peel (1 lemon)

3 tbsp lemon juice (1 lemon)

1 tsp fine-grain sea salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped

1. In a medium pot over medium heat, warm 2 tsp of the oil. Add the shallots and cook, covered, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa and toast 2 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and 2 cups water. Cover; bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the quinoa is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.

3. When the quinoa is tender, remove from heat. Fluff with a fork and let sit 2 minutes. Add the quinoa mixture and pistachios to the dressing. Gently toss to combine. Serve warm or slightly chilled.
